HOUSE-WALL STRUCTURE.

Application filed October 15, 1924. Serial No. 743,709.

I propose to provide a wall structurewhich is not susceptible to the passage of heat and cold, this end being accomplished by providing dead air spaces between the outer wall facing and the central partition wall, and also between the inner wall facing and said partition wall.

t is a feature of the invention to construct the so-called partition wall in the form of a frame work composed of vertical studs connected together by horizontal pieces and engaging the horizontal pieces and studs in a concrete wall having the surfaces spaced from the outer surfaces of the studding to.

provide air spaces when the inner and outer wall surfaces are placed in position.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which I like numerals are employed to designatelike parts throughout the same;

Figure 1 is an outer elevational view of a portion of a house embodying my improved wall structure. I

Figure 2 is a horizontal section through the improved wall structure, the section being taken substantiallyon; the plane of the line 2-2 of Figure 3. l

Figure 3 is a vertical section through the structure.

Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be observed that the so-called central partition wall comprises a plurality of vertically disposed studs 1, spaced apart in the usual manner. Connected to these studs and arranged at the bottom, center and top, are horizontal connecting pieces 2. The studs are preferably arran ed in staggered relation on opposite si es of the connecting ieces, as seen more clearly in Figure. 2.

orizontal top and bottom members 3 and 4 respectively may be connected to the studs to provide a frame work. The horizontal pieces 2 are embedded in a concrete wall 5, and it is to be observed that the concrete wall is of the thickness so that its opposed I inner and outer faces terminate in spaced relation to the corresponding faces of the studs. Thus, when the inner and outer facing Walls 6 and 7 are placed in position against studding, dead air spaces 8 are provlded between the partition wall and the facing walls. Such a wall, in my opinion, is not susceptible to the easy passage of cold 'or heat, is very rigid in construct-ion, is

substantially sound proof, and is exceedingly durable. It is of course evident that the facing walls 6 and 7 may be of any construction. For instance, boarding may simply be nailed to the studding, after which suitable surfacing material, such as brick, plaster or the like may be placed thereagainst.

It is thought that when the foregoing description is considered in connection with the drawing, a clear comprehension of the invention will be had. For this reason, a more lengthy description is deemed unnecessary.

It is to be understood that while I have confined the disclosure to a specific embodiment of the invention, minor changes coming within the field of invention claimed may be resorted to, if desired.

I claim:

A wall structure comprising a central partition wall composed of a wooden frame work including vertical studs arranged in staggered relation on opposite sides of horizontal connecting pieces, and a concrete wall in which said frame work is embedded, the opposite sides of the concrete wall terminating in spaced relation from the outer surfaces of the vertical studs, and facin walls secured to said studding and s ace from the concrete wall to provide dea air spaces beilvlveen the facing walls. of the concrete w In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
